Super User roadwarrior Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 Congratulations! That's one nice bass. Quote
JiggaMan512 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Thats a nice BIG fish man, good job! Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 hmmm, did you catch any on the doritos? How did the Cool Ranch work? I usually prefer Nacho Cheddar Quote
Super User senile1 Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 New 2 Bass, that is a beautiful fish. Dude, so you didn't weigh it, but did you get some measurements? You don't want to catch a PB and, at least, have some idea of what it weighed. Awesome outing. I'll bet your son is wound up and ready to fish. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 Great looking catch...as far as the BBQ goes, sounds like a roadtrip!!! Quote
New 2 Bass Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks fellas, that means alot to me coming from you guys!!! As for the Doritos....its funny, my kid was eating them when this pig hit. The moment I pulled her from the water. My son dropped the bag of chips and started hootin' and hollerin'. Kind of like I was. We looked like two kids at a Chrismas gift opening. As for size/length, I am guessing 25-27. She was bigger that my shoe x 2. I wear a size 12 nike (which is 12") and my thumb to pinkey is 9" (like a Hang Loose). Girth is somewhere in the 19-22. I put the numbers into the cpu for the weight, but I cant believe she was really a double digit bass. She didn't FEEL like one, well I've never held one, but she didn't feel like a 10lb dumbbell. Maybe I was so amp'd on adrenaline I was numb. What a feeling. I know why you guys live for this!!!!!! The weight is not so important (well, ok it is). I went and got that photo enlarged to hang in my side of the house. Too cool. later Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 13, 2006 Super User Posted November 13, 2006 At the top of each Forum is a "Tacklebox" function. Inside the Tacklebox is a weight calculator. According to the BassResource calculator, 26" X 20" = 11.27 lbs. Quote
Bassassasin12 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 wow what a monster fish. Thats a very nice PB. Keep at it, in your part of the country, there is a bigger one... I can guarantee it Quote
New 2 Bass Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 I am truly humbled by everyones kind words. I can only look forward to fishing my mattlures swimbait for some REALLY big sow. Roadwarrior I'd love to believe so. That pig, from the bank, on a lure, with my son. Ha!!! (my live bait friends still look like this ) For the record, the monkey hasn't let go of my ankle yet. I've looked at a bunch of scales in the last few days. What the hey is up w/ the prices? I can't believe what some of those things are going for. Crazy. A little tid bit for you guys....Everyone I tell the story to, gets the pictures. They all say, "wow, big, etc". But the one that kills 'em is when I tell them I let her go. Some people can't believe it. Its like I'm the nut. Oh well. I guess its not for them. later guys. Quote
Pa Angler Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Congrats on the great fish good job. Quote
sirmo Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 New 2 bass....you are too funny. Cool to see people get so excited over big fish....I do too!! Nothing gets 'em in ponds like that better than a senco. Keep it up! Quote

Redtail Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Awesome Fish! Great picture of your son! You let her go, new to fishing, and a PB - Now that's Priceless! Quote
Keithscatch Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr. lol, where did you first hear this slogan? Just curious. Because I first used that saying about 1.5 years ago on another forum here in Florida the FBF. I haven't been a part of that forum for a year now and I still hear folks using that term. I am wondering if you heard it there? ;D Quote
New 2 Bass Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 I feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr. lol, where did you first hear this slogan? Just curious. Because I resemble that remark ;D I got it here. I had never heard of the "Florida Special" before. I'm not far behind ya w/ the 16oz curls and pork rinds. Quote
Keithscatch Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Yeah I have used it here too. I guess that phrase is mine since as far as I know I was the first to use it. To be clear a Florida Special is a bass that is 13" or less. They seem to be the most prevelant here and thus the phrase "Florida Special" was born. ;D Other members who post here also post on the FloridaBassForum site. It was funny to see you use it. I have heard folks using that phrase all over the place now. I guess I started something with that haha. Quote

boondocks Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Isn't something how a big fish can make your day, sometimes your month. I wish my wife could figure that out. Quote
